The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution granted African Americans in the United States citizenship and therefore voting rights. It also protected their civil rights and provided equal protection under the law. Additionally, it overturned the Dred Scott decision by ensuring that all people born or naturalized in the United States were citizens, regardless of their race or ethnicity. This amendment played a significant role in eliminating racial discrimination and inequality in the United States.
